Series Description: The series "Correspondence, 1933-1950: Friends" consists chiefly of incoming correspondence to John F. Kennedy from friends. In many cases, the letters are signed only by a first name or a nickname. The library staff has attempted to identify the writers of these letters. We have enclosed a few surnames in brackets - [ ] - and placed a question mark after them. This indicates that we are not sure we have correctly identified the writer's surname. There are several letters which are only identified by a first name or nickname because we do not know the writer's entire name.
